ADesirable Mother-in.Law.

A great many stories have been told
about men who had no use for their
mothers-in-law. hence an exception to
the general rule is very refreshing.
Il don't want to hear or read any,
thing disparaging to mothers-in-law."
said Judge Peterby to his young friend,
Hostetter McGinnis.
"What makes you talk in that eccen-
trio sort of way, Judge?'
'I'll tell you why. My wife has
jawed me almost to death ever since
we were married. Last week l invited
her mother to come and live with u.s..
"Man alive! Have you lost your
sensesP'
"Not much. You see they don't agree.
They fight each other all day long. and
I am enjoying season of heavenly
rest. My wife is SO tired quarreling all
day long with her mother, that when 1
come home there is nothing left over
for me. Why, that mother-in-law of
mine is lightning rod. l feel perfect
ly safe as long as she is in the house.
She is treasure. The next man
hear abusing mothers-in-law has got
me to fight only wish had three or
four of them in the house. Then I'd
feel perfectly safe. "-1ezas Siftings.

RANCH AND RANGE.

Never have sheep wintered better than
they are now doing in Colorado. The first
of February is past and the tiocks are all
stout and healthy, with sufficient strength
to carry them safely through.
During the hot weather of next summer,
the Longmont creamery will make cheese
instead of butter. The cheese press, which
is about the only new fixture that will be
needed, will be ordered in due time
The ranchmen on the Garnet mesa are
going into the fruit business extensively,
one rancliman alone having made arrange
ments to set out 1000 grape vines and ten
acres in apples and peaches.-Delta Inde-
pendent.
Some ten or fifteen creameries that we
have heard of in the State will be started
up in the spring. That they will all be a
success would be too much to expect. Some
of them will succeed, as this is the modern
departure of butter making.-Field and
Farm.
The public shearing establishment at
Hugo will be carried on in the coming
spring and summer in a systematic man
ner. A party from California will lease it
and put the sheds and pens in fine condi-
ton and will have California shearers to
do the work.-Field and Farm.
Farmer c. W. Steele of Mesa county
writes in the Grand Junction News as fol-
lows: "Small fruit of all kinds are in unus-
ually fine condition. Some of the young
strawberry plants are almost as green as
they were in October. The irrigation we
gave them in December has proven very
beneficial"
Apple trees that grow ten dollars worth
of apples in single year when less than
ten years old, are only known in Colorado.
Hundreds of trees in the State did nearly
as well as that last year, and not few ex-
ceeded it. If this is not encouragement to
plant orchards then all that could be said
would be of naught.
According to President Southworth's ad-
dress before the Dairy Association there
are 1000 pounds of oleomargarine made
per day in Denver, at the present time,
equal to 100000 pounds per year, of three
hundred business days. There is at least
double this amount, or 1,aOO, 900 pounds i'm
ported making total of 800, 90 pounds.
To furnish this amount of pure, wholesome
butter would require L, 900 COWS, at an av-
erage yield of one hundred and fifty
pounds per cow.
Mostyn Brothers, of Brown, purchased
the cattle and range of Messrs. Armstrong
& Heard, of this place, last week. The

ranch and summer range. The cattle are

A reporter in his daily jaunt in

rusal of the readers of the Post, hap
pened into the cigar store of s. Alex

popular young merchant was Mr.. Ben
Kiam, of the firmof Kiam Bros, and
the sum of money was the neat
little amount of $4,000. Mr..

he disliked publicity, but as the

Waterbury evening Democrat., 1887-12-09

Now our word in season is that the Boards or Councils or Commi ,;oneis or whatever you pleeae to designfte the vari- ous bodies charged with conservation of the City's comforts should take time by the forelock and prepare for the time that will come whether they be prepared or not. If there be City Ordinances for the cleaning of our thoroughfares let them be enforced at any cost; if not, let powers be sought in that direction and for that purpose. We should like to see a broom brigade daily in operation and carts occasionally at work to take away the gath cred street sweepings. We would rejoice in the enforcement of arule-or if not exist ing an ordinance therefor-by which resi- dents in private house or public store should be called upon to keep their front ages respectively clear of snow and accu- mulated mud. And in especial manner 1t would be more acceptable to us to see the crossings so that persons might cross in safety In the last named matter, in. other cities, house and store keepers have be- come power unto themselves: if authority does not act for them they find it to their profit to keep the crossings to their premi- ses clean This word in season-or rather anticipative of the season, is worth think ing about.

A Lowly Refreshment Stand.

At the foot of the Fifty ninth street ele- vated station, between stout telegraph pole and one of the iron pillars, there sits a buxom co1ored woman attired in the proverbial blue calico dress, an immaculate white apron and a fantastical headdress of bandanna handker- chief. An ironing board does duty in front of her as a counter. Upon this is placed at one end huge coffee urn with an oil stove underneath. Next to this is an immense waiter of deviled crabs. The woman usually takes up her stand about Il o'clock at night, and there she remains until it is nearly morn ing. During the few minute intervals on the elevated trains she indulges in cat maps. As each train deposits it's load of passengers she suddenly enthuses with the thought of a possible customer. The voice that has been trained in the old plantation school of music raises it's notes and utters the refrain of ssHot coffee and debbled crabs" If no one stops to purchase, and the rapidly dispensing crowd warns her to infuse more life into her cry, she sings in higher key "Here's nice hot corphy and debbel crabs Oh, won't you buy desc debbel crabs?
 The belated passenger who does try cup of her coffee generally adds nickel to her price, and, if his digestion be good, deviled crab prepared in the old southern style of cooking makes him wonder that such things can be found at that time of night. The wo- man who keeps the stand is said to make be- tween $2 and s per night.--New York Even ing Sun

THE annual report of the New York, New Haven and Hartford railroad, which has just been issued shows that corporation to be in highly prosperous condition. AL though $672, 5S2 has been spent in the past year in improvements, principally in lay Ing four tracks, dividend of 10 per cent. can be paid, and there will still be cash as sets amounting to $2,719,160. The report describes in detail the different improve ments under way and proposal. The four tracks will be completed to Portchester early in the spring. The block system of signaling trains is being introduced on the New York division, and will be in opera tion in few weeks. This will greatly re- duce the liability of accidents. Grade crossings are to be abolished at twenty-two places in Connecticut, and the same work is being pushed in New York State. There has been large increase of the passenger traffic during the past year, and the cars at present in operation have been found to be entirely inadequate for the business, and a large number of new coaches have been ordered.
